"عن عروة بن رويم اللخمى قال: كتب عمر بن الخطاب إلى أَبى عبيدة ابن الجراح كتابا فقرأه على الناس بالجابية: من عبد اللَّه عمر أمير المؤمنين إلى أَبى عبيدة ابن الجراح: سلام عليك، أما بعد: فإنه لم يقم أمر اللَّه في الناس إلا حصيف العقدة ()، بعيد الغرة ( ) لا يطلع الناس منه على عورة، ولا يحنق في الحق على جرته، ولا يخاف في اللَّه لومة لائم، والسلام عليك. قال: وكتب عمر إلى أَبى عبيدة: أما بعد فإنى كتبت إليك بكتاب لم آلُك ولا نفسى فيه خيرا؛ الزم خمس خلال يسلم لك دينك، وتحظى بأفضل حظك: إذا حضرك الخصمان فعليك بالبينات العدول، والأيمان القاطعة، ثم أدن الضعيف حتى ينبسط لسانه ويجترئَ قلبه، وتعاهد الغريب؛ فإنه إذا طال حبسُه ترك حاجته وانصرف إلى أهله، وآو الذى أبطل حقه من لم يرفع به رأسا، واحرص على الصلح ما لم يتبين لك القضاءُ. والسلام عليك".

"'Urwah ibn Ruwaym al-Lakhmi said: 'Umar ibn al-Khattab wrote a letter to Abu 'Ubaydah ibn al-Jarrah, which he read out to the people at al-Jabiyah: 'From the servant of Allah 'Umar, Commander of the Believers, to Abu 'Ubaydah ibn al-Jarrah: Peace be upon you. To proceed: the command of Allah among the people is only established by one of firm knot (), far from heedlessness (), who does not let people see any flaw in him, who does not become angry in the truth to the point of excess, and who does not fear the blame of any blamer in Allah. Peace be upon you.' He said: 'And 'Umar wrote to Abu 'Ubaydah: To proceed: I have written to you a letter in which I have withheld nothing of good from you or from myself. Hold fast to five qualities and your religion will be safe, and you will attain your best share: when the two litigants come before you, then adhere to the just proofs and the decisive oaths; then bring near the weak until his tongue is relaxed and his heart is emboldened; take care of the stranger, for when his detention is prolonged he abandons his need and returns to his family; give refuge to the one whose right has been nullified by one who does not heed him; and be keen on reconciliation so long as the judgement has not become clear to you. Peace be upon you.'"
